Elliot's TODOs

[ronawho]

Higher Priority:

• Gather performance results for UPC, MPI, and Chapel for all problem sizes and commit results (done in Add NPB-FT results for PAW #57)
• Figure out next steps for running NPB-FT as part of Chapel's performance suite -- Add NPB-FT to chapel nightly perf test #42
• Create/update upstream issues for providing low-level comm interfaces and for improving performance of the useCommPrimitives=false case (done in Upstream tracking issues #59)

Medium Priority:

• Figure out performance differences between intel and gcc/llvm backends -- Slowdown in YZ transform on PrgEnv-gcc #25

Lower Priority:

• Figure out Swan vs Crystal timing differences -- Compare swan and crystal performance #39
• Gather some InfiniBand numbers -- Gather some InfiniBand timings #49

Misc:

• Try using an explicit inner coforall instead of multiple foralls to verify task-creation time is negligible (I have verified task creation time is minimal in full SIM code.)
• Each trial has to set up the plans (currently run with FFTW_MEASURE.) Could we set up once and cache/reuse plans (done in Optimize plan creation when wisdom already exists #56)

I think the last of the miscellaneous issues is now done as well! 👍
